Episode 42: A Karaoke Box Murder Case

Scenario: It's the Christmas season and Ran, Sonoko and Conan are shopping. Ran is talking to Sonoko about, among other things, boyfriends. Sonoko's new boyfriend/accquaintance is popstar Justin Moon of the band Lex. The three meet the band and sing a bit of karaoke. It turns out that Justin is an arrogant, selfish punk. Justin is requested by a unknown person to sing "Bloody Venus", his signature song. Justin rips his jacket in the beginning of the song like he always does. When the song ends, the caterer Georgie brings in a spread. Justin grabs a riceball and talks about the future of the band. He wants to go solo and he starts another thought when his body seizes up. He collapses on the floor and dies. Upon initial examination, Conan smells cyanide. Conan realizes this death was murder, instigated by one of the band members. Inspector Megure is called in. Conan meanwhile examines the scene for any hints of motive. Amber, Lex's guitarist, is sighted as a suspect because of her love for Justin. Justin already had a girlfriend who was "away for a while" and called it quits. With no solid evidence though, Megure can't convict Amber. He returns to the station empty-handed. Conan notices a photograph in the room of another band. In the photograph is Justin; Sledge, the drummer of Lex and two unknown women. Sledge says one of the women is Mazy, the manager of Lex even though she looks nothing like the current Mazy. Using past evidence, Conan has solved the case. Meanwhile, the inspector gets a telephone call to meet him back at the karaoke room. He tells Ran and Sonoko who are in the car with him on the drive that Shinichi has solved the case. Back at the karaoke room, the song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is playing over the loudspeaker. This song was what drove the murderer over the edge when Justin requested it for her. The murderer is Mazy. The evidence is in Mazy's Lex jacket. It's Justin's lighter. Mazy placed the cyanide on her jacket and switched her band jacket with Justin's. When Justin ripped his jacket of during "Bloody Venus", the cyanide was exposed. His death was hurried when he ate a riceball with his contaminated hand. Mazy confesses and said that Justin hated her after she had plastic surgery even though it was done to impress him. Justin still loved her though. On the back of the photograph is a love song written by Justin dedicated to Mazy. Mazy realizes her mistake and bursts into tears.

Scenario: Kogoro has taken Ran, Sonoko and Conan to a high school baseball game. The reigning champions the Shoreview Bears are playing the Unicorns for a chance to get into the playoffs. Shoreview's star pitcher, Kenyon, is shutting out the Unicorns when he notices something in his direction. The umpire calls a balk and the game resumes. Only this time Kenyon's pitching suffers. The coach changes pitchers and Kenyon runs in the school. The game continues and the Unicorns continue to rack up the runs. Suddenly, the storeroom manager alerts the principal of Shoreview that last year's championship flag has been slashed. The game stops and the crowd files into the school. Kogoro examines the scene. The flag has cut with short slashes primarily to the left of the flag near the stave. The window has been smashed and a ladder is outside leading to the window. It appears to be a outside job. Still, the principal states that because of the criminal, Shoreview will withdraw its name from the playoffs. The storeroom manager says that the office and storeroom key are gone. Kogoro realizes the ladder was a plant and this was an inside job. With these clues, he labels the suspects. Kenyon, ex-pitcher Billy Jones, the principal of Shoreview High and Kenyon's mother. Kenyon confesses that he cut the flag. His mother steps in, saying he is just protecting her. He cuts her off and as evidence of his crime, he presents Richard with the Xacto-blade used to commit the crime. Kogoro calls the case closed but Conan isn't satisfied. After Conan talks to Sonoko about the school's academic history, he puts the pieces together and solves the case. He lures Kogoro into the office and puts him to sleep. Using Kogoro's voice, he calls everyone over the intercom system to the office. Using earlier evidence, the guilty party had to have been short, left handed and was in the building at the time of the crime. Kenyon is right-handed and fairly tall, taking him off the suspect list. Billy and Kenyon's mother both share one aspect of the criminal. Only the principal is left-handed, short and was in the building at the time of the slashing. He confesses and said the chairman of the school wanted the baseball team disbanded because he thought is was getting in the way of studies. The storeroom clerk shows up once again to report the chairman, who was thought to be ill, has passed away, making the principal's actions useless. Six months later, under the management of Kenyon's mother, the Shoreview Bears win the championship flag once again.

Episode 40: The Wealthy Daughter Murder Case (P2)

Scenario: Reika is removed from the bathtub where she drowned. Kogoro examines the body and finds that unlike the murder of Steve and the attack on Ran, Reika had been tied up with rope and duct tape. What's more, her clothes were soaking wet. Kogoro analyzes the facts and find that the murder took place around 5 to 6 A.M. This cleared suitors Donald Hiblar and Michael Stewart along with the maid Nonee. At that time, however, suitors Dirk Copeland and Quentin Mifune were not present. Dirk noticed Quentin heading in the direction of the bathroom but Quentin denies entering the bathroom at all. Then by accident, Conan turns on the water and the showerhead comes on. Kogoro scolds Conan and warns him he will get wet. With that statement, Conan has realized the way Reika was killed. To find the killer, he puts Kogoro to sleep and proclaims he's solved the case. He asks the suitors to remove their suit jackets. Conan notices where water stains are located on the mens' shirts. Conan deducts that suitor Donald Hiblar is the murderer. First, Donald rejoined Steve in the search for Reika, giving Donald the perfect opportunity to murder him. Next, he made it look like the murderer had cut the power and escaped through the window. He set this up by causing a power surge and breaking the window. Donald's next act was to drug Ran's tea. While everyone believed Ran was attacked for a reason, there was none. Donald had chosen a victim at random because all he wanted was a witness to confirm she was drowned the same way Steve was. Finally, there was Reika. While it appeared that all three murder were done the same, each was unique in different ways. Reika was tied up, duct taped and the showerhead was turned on to insure Donald's alibi. The evidence is on his shirt elbows where the water stained when he removed Reika. He confesses and says Sonja was murdered by Steve and Reika and this was merely revenge. Nonee, while devastated at this revelation, disapproves of Donald's actions.
